“... well this is a rather shameful article - the left really wants to sell this Susan Rice business as an ill begotten, mean spirited attack by old white racist chauvinists on some poor, beleaguered, well intentioned black woman - look at the way Ayotte is marginalized, in the left wing echo chamber, in this article - she's treated like some insignificant stooge trying to crowd the microphone even though she's a highly accomplished woman married to a Lt Col in the Air Force who possibly one day may be the GOP nominee for president - but of course that's the problem, she's a highly accomplished woman, doesn't fit the narrative you're trying to sell - therefore marginalize her as an inconsequential stooge. Like I said, shameful, and shamefully short sighted if you think this is a good road for the country to be going down.
But then that is why this Benghazi story is so important - of course Obama lied about Libya in order to protect the illusions and prop up the bogus 'successes' of his Mideast foreign policy with an election but a few short weeks away - and of course he sent his loyal minion Rice out there to defend the lie and no doubt - this is conjecture on my part - but I'm guesing it’s likely Rice was chosen precisely because she's a black woman and such would come in mighty handy when it came time to hide the lie behind smoke and mirrors - this is all obvious to anyone not addled by ideological dementia - but as bad as all that is the fact remains we've seen it before - presidents have acted in this scurrilous way in the past and they will again in the future, and so that's not what makes this a big story - what makes the story big is the blatantly obvious way the press ignored it in order to get Obama elected and is now trying to get the story cast aside as illegitimate by subtly sending out the message that this is all about racism and chauvinism. I mean, why try and paint what McCain et al are doing as over reach beyond the pale when congressional oversight is fundamental to the way American governance works? Obviously the reason is that if you create the impression amongst the ill informed and ignorant that the opposition of McCain et al is in the extreme then what follows 'naturally' from that is the belief that this opposition must indeed be motivated by male chauvinism and racism. Again, I repeat, this is shameful behavior and shamefully short sighted if you think it a good road for the country to be going down.
Democracy is not about voting per se [the putative Arab Spring has resoundingly proven that point] - it's about the critical spirit, the critical voice that informs the vote - a free press is therefore crucial to the establishing and preservation of a democracy [again, every socialist or autocratic will to power in history has proven this point since the press and media are the first things devoured so as to be artificially reconstituted in order to better serve the tyrant's wishes] - a press and media that have willingly subjugated themselves to a political agenda, willingly made themselves tools of a specific ideology are no longer free - and it follows the democracy they ostensibly serve is no longer safe.
That is why the Benghazi story is so important - Rice isn't the true target here, or at least not the ultimate one - a cancerous corruption eating away at the vital organs of the country's critical faculties is what this is all about...”
